elemental spheres ----- ----- --- -- -- -- - - - - - - - -

The rain has stopped, the clouds have drifted away,
and the weather is clear again.
If your heart is pure,
then all things in your world are pure.
Abandon this fleeting world, abandon yourself,
Then the moon and flowers will guide you along the way.

RETURNING

The elementals are conjurers, sacred creators that build the very worlds around them. Travelling in spheres they spread out across the galaxy. This is the sonic story of their mythic return. For it is now, in the long destinies of time, that the elementals are gathering together to meet once again and shape the very fabric of what is to come.

a myth evolving
a culture in transit
a circle being opened

the sacred ecology

limitless expansion
of wind as it passes across the landscape
every twist and turn
every tree and tunnel
a new kind of instrument
a sound in the chorus

beyond the dust

endless extension
of culture as it travels across the potentials
seeding the starship consciousness
dedicated to the evolution
redefining the shapes of space
at the center of the destiny

The green samurai clan is a collective of collectives, a global network of musicians, artists, designers, dancers, djs, magicians, coders, performers, poets, priestesses, promoters, presenters, producers and cultural creatives who are dedicated to building foundations for a sustainable planetary post-civilization. Through the mists of time the greensamuraiclan have been involved in creating events, gatherings, rituals, parties, festivals, conferences and councils. The clan exists in many modalities; downtempo collective, dj crew, performance troupe and production team. It actively visions dappled multimedia streams, website developments, graphic design, event décor, preproduction consulting, promotion packages, information architecture, land stewardship, custom art and permaculture design.

Uniting the west coast chillout sensibility with a microfusion of imbedded polyproduction and holistic design science, the green samurai clan downtempo collective is a synergy of different styles, lineages and musical traditions. this is the third in a series of cd compilations exploring the east-west infusion of hip-hop inspired sound environments.
